The Chinese Ambassador’s comments have just proven the point I made in the House yesterday.
No amount of pearl clutching and faux outrage is going to change it.
We live in a democracy that includes free speech and rights - those two values that other certain countries not only limit, but do so with force.
If you want to compare what our free democratic country has - in particular our parliament - then go back and see what it’s like in those communist and dictatorship countries and look for yourself. I will not resile from that point and New Zealanders should not resile from it.
If that offends the pearl clutchers and the communist shills labelling it as ‘dangerous’ - welcome to New Zealand.

Ici, tout est importé, ta moto, ton véhicule
Tout ça, ce sont les blancs qui les ont créés, nous on a rien créé
On ne fabrique rien en Afrique
Le blanc est venu a créé le téléphone, internet
On ne sait même pas comment ça fonctionne
A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...
The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.
All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."
After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.
The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.
As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.
The average of the second test was 6.
When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.
The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?
Comandantes de Hamás:
"Nuestro problema no es solo Palestina, nuestro problema es matar a todos los no musulmanes.
Perseguiremos a judíos y cristianos en todo el mundo.
¡O se convierten al islam o los mataremos!"
Cualquier persona que apoye a Hamás no puede ser cristiano.
A 27-year-old guy from China bought 100 Mac minis and turned his apartment into a server hub
Instead of furniture, the space is filled with neat racks where a hundred Mac minis hum like a living organism, processing gigabytes of data in a continuous stream
Many small AI startups in Asia cannot afford to train models on NVIDIA H100 servers: it is insanely expensive
He provides his Mac minis for running and fine-tuning small, highly specialized models. He takes on the dirty work of data labeling and quality assurance by using his network of agents that check each other's work
> His initial investment was $59,900
> He was able to recoup his costs in 3 months
Right now, his average income is $25,000–$30,000 per month
He is not a genius: he simply found a niche with high demand and created an offer
I'm announcing that I created this Citizen Vigilante X account so Patriots can learn about anti-Islam citizen vigilantism...

We are going to take our country back.

Marco Rubio on Israel:
"Israel's wealth lay not under the ground, but in its people, the Jewish people, who made the desert bloom into a high-tech superpower."
God bless you, @SecRubio 🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱
He is Adam Abdul Hamid & Mohammad Ashraf, muslim migrants from Pakistan
They are charged over 6 hours gang r*pe of a 12 year old Christian girl in Australia & the girl remained in a coma for 4 months due to their heinous act.
Throw out this r@pe gang from your country.
Yanna converted to Islam. She lives in Australia, her Muslim husband is in Pakistan now. She's scared & having a hard time getting a divorce. Her husband won't support her & Imams at the Mosque won't grant her divorce. Beware before you convert to Islam, your life will be HELL.
Oggi l’Italia ha ottenuto un grande successo: il Parlamento europeo ha approvato il nuovo Regolamento europeo sui rimpatri. Un provvedimento storico che consente di rimpatriare velocemente chi non ha titolo a stare nell’Unione europea.
Today the European Parliament voted 418-218 to pass the strictest migration law in EU history.
When the result was announced, MEPs started chanting.
"Send them back."
Inside the parliament chamber. On the floor. In 2026.
Here's what the law actually does:
— Deportation orders now apply across all EU member states. You can't evade removal by crossing a border.
— Detention before deportation extended from 6 months to 30 months. Unlimited for security threats.
— "Return hubs" in third countries. Migrants can be transferred outside the EU while awaiting deportation — including families with children.
— Automatic deportation stays while appeals are pending? Gone. Courts decide case by case.
— Entry bans double from 5 to 10 years. Lifetime bans for security risks.
Currently only about 20% of people ordered deported from the EU actually leave.
For years European leaders told voters that open borders and mass migration were non-negotiable — that wanting enforcement meant you were a fascist.
418 Members of the European Parliament just disagreed.
Trump proved his immigration policies were popular enough to win elections.
After a wave of right-wing electoral gains across the continent, Europe is following in his footsteps.
And the Overton Window is getting kicked off its hinges.
Lots of misinformation being spread about me the last couple days, so some quick facts
- My name is Tina, not Guo Can (or Jessie Anderson). I’m one of many Raptor flight operators on console since flight2. Before that, I wrote control software for the vehicle, and was a stage software operator for flight1
- Been living in Starbase since surborbital days in 2020, absolutely love it down here. The people are wonderful and so so excited about the mission - the lows are lows but the highs are very high. My friends here are the best in the world, and I love them to the moon/mars and back :)
- The reason I decided to say something was because facts matter, but also because wanted to share my real life journey to how I got here. I don’t have a masters or a PhD, I started full time directly after college after 2x internships also at spacex doing software/automation. I was on a couple design teams in college, including Stanford solar car + mars rover. When I started spacex as a software engineer, I knew very little about fluids / propulsion engineering - I learned a lot of it on the job with some pretty incredible mentors. Then I swapped over to propulsion about halfway through my career and have been loving it ever since
